THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS, November 30, 2018 — During the 60th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, principal investigators from The US Oncology Network and US Oncology Research will demonstrate detailed results from 18 studies (two orals, 15 poster presentations and one late-breaking abstract) covering topics including multiple myeloma, plasma cell disorders, lymphoid malignancies, follicular lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and more. The ASH Annual Meeting, a leading scientific event in malignant and non-malignant hematology, will be held December 1-4 in San Diego.

“We are proud once again to have numerous researchers from our community of oncologists showcase their work towards advancing cancer treatment options,” said Michael Seiden, MD, PhD, president of The US Oncology Network. “It is heartening to participate in this important event where research towards better patient outcomes is the priority, and I’m eager to learn the results from these promising studies.”

“I am honored to be a part of this study in which US Oncology Research was heavily involved and contributed to its success,” said Dr. Yimer. “Our practice accrued the largest number of patients to this study globally, and I am hopeful that it may be practice changing.”
